Using Communication Redundancy

Setting up Communication Redundancy on your network helps protect critical links against failure, protects against network loops, and keeps network downtime at a minimum.

The Communication Redundancy function allows the user to set up redundant loops in the network to provide a backup data transmission route in the event that a cable is inadvertently disconnected or damaged. This is a particularly important feature for industrial applications, since it could take several minutes to locate the disconnected or severed cable. For example, if the EDS-510A is used as a key communications component of a production line, several minutes of downtime could cause a big loss in production and revenue. The EDS-510A supports two different protocols for this communication redundancy function—Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE-802.1w)and Turbo Ring.

Turbo Ring and STP/RSTP cannot both be used on the network at the same time. The following table lists the key differences between each feature. Use this information to evaluate the benefits of each, and then determine which features are most suitable for your network.

Ethernet has become the default data communications medium for industrial automation applications. In fact, Ethernet is often used to integrate video, voice, and high-rate industrial application data transfers into one network. The EDS-510A, which comes equipped with a redundant gigabit Ethernet protocol called Gigabit Turbo Ring, gives system maintainers a convenient means of setting up a versatile yet stable gigabit Ethernet network.
